The apks were ripped out of a pre-release HTC First ROM, and are a little buggy, so good luck getting all the features to work. Chat Heads, for example, is totally borked. And status updates don't seem to work either. If you want to try it anyway, you just need a device with a max resolution of 1280x768 and the ability to fully delete the existing Facebook app, i.e. if it's built right into your ROM, you'll need root to pull it off. To install, just delete your existing Facebook app, and side-load Facebook Home in its three parts: the main app, the messenger, and the launcher.

From there, it's playtime. In an awkward, buggy playground. Suffice it to say that you should probably just wait another four days for the official release if you want a remotely representative experience. But if you're down for exploring, the door is open. Sorta. [Modaco]
